Trailer and stills for romantic comedy Couples
by girlfriday
Here’s a look at the romantic comedy film Couples, a funny look at modern dating through the various ways that five single people can cross paths with each other and become fated to change each other’s lives… for better or worse. The players: Lee Shi-young (Poseidon) is the heartless girlfriend who disappears one day with nothing but a text message. Kim Joo-hyuk (Terroir) plays her heartbroken puppy dog boyfriend, who tries desperately to track her down. Lee Yoon-ji (Dream High) plays a cop who still clings to the fake diamond ring her last boyfriend gave her before leaving. Gong Hyung-jin (The Duo, Runaway) plays a man who doesn’t believe that love exists, and Oh Jung-sae (Korea) is the guy who’s in love with his friend’s girl.
Directing is PD Jung Yong-ki (Once Upon a Time, The Descendants of Hong Gil-dong), and the film is described as a reversal of a reversal. Isn’t that just right back to one? Apparently it’s a maze of relationships, so enmeshed that you can’t tell where one starts and the other begins. Not sure how tricksy it actually gets, but the trailer looks zany and fun, with a cast full of really quirky characters.
Gong Hyung-jin looks like he’s going to be a scene-stealing riot the whole time, which is just par for the course for him. Kim Joo-hyuk seems like he’s playing something closer to his real personality, as evidenced by his hilarious pathetic whiny appearances on Running Man. I love both Lee Shi-young and Lee Yoon-ji, and they seem perfectly cast as opposite types of heroines — one who takes guys for a spin at will, and one who buries herself in self-conscious doubt. Looks like a good time.
Couples is playing in theaters now.

omg. What song is it at 0:59?! It's at the tip of my tongue and I can't seem to figure it out.
I'm definitely watching this when I can. I love Lee Shiyoung and after seeing Kim Joohyuk on RM, he's hilarious.

I really liked Gong Hyung-Jin in Dal-ja's Spring, and I just finished watching Alone in Love (what a fabulous drama!), and he's freaking cute and hilarious in it!
We need some more love for Alone in Love. I can't believe I only watched it recently although it's from 2006. Now looking forward to the writer's new drama, and I have to go back to watch MIA.

Yeah, it certainly has a great cast and opened it's initial weekend run in Korea as number two at the box-office. Both lead actresses are really special and fun to watch, and Lee Yoon Ji may be the best kept (not so secret) secret in all of Korean entertainment. She's won acting awards for several projects, always demands one's attention without being too demanding, and is just too darn cute not to like. I'm looking forward to this one and for both Lee Si-Young and Lee Yoon Ji's careers to continue to grow... :)

Funny is funny no matter what age group it is targeting.... Lee Shi-young was funny in "Meet the In-Laws" too. I also recommend that Kfilm to anyone eager to watch "Couples."
